The Philosophy Takeaway

Got you thinking.

Breeze

Without a face

Without a body

You can see

Its expression

Always through

What it touches:

Ripples on the pond;

Leaves clapping limply

In the tree.

For us, embodied souls

This will also be the case

In these words

I am writing

The effluence, the impression

This echo of love.

We are a group of humans, mainly philosophy students, graduates and self taught philosophers who believe philosophy is essential for society and has been in the background for too long; it is time to bring it to light! Philosophy should be on the lips of the people, not locked up in old books with complicated names. We want to wake up the inner philosopher in you. There is a stereotype that philosophers tend to be old men with beards and pipes (a bit like some people see God?), we want to break this narrow perception. We want to provide a space for people old and young, from all non-/religious and ethnic backgrounds and from all levels of learning - then we will cultivate an interest in Philosophy. Whether you feel that you don’t know anything about it, or you have a curiosity about it, or you are a seasoned philosophy student or reader, come and engage in philosophical chat, start a game of chess or lets share anecdotes and make this day meaningful! We will explore everyday areas of life as they turn philosophical. Our ultimate goal is to create a free school of philosophy, its modest gates open to all who are inclined towards it. Your visit to our website is a step in that direction……. .

Doesn’t matter what level of philosophical knowledge you have, we promise to give you something to think about!
